Protect. Fight. Survive. Repeat.

Chapter Six - USJ, Aftermath, and Returning to School

The Nomu went to attack me with it's other hand. I jumped back, sheathing the blade in my right hand and grabbing my teacher as well. A few seconds later the mist guy arrived. Then handy man lunged for my class mates. "Mr. Aizawa. Help them." He looked at me. "There's two over there and only me here. Help the majority. It's the right thing to do." He was hesitant, but knowing I had a good point he moved. Going to help the other two. The Nomu again attacked. I dodged, barely. Redrawing my blade. He attacked. I dodged, while simultaneously cutting off his arm. At the same time All Might arrived. My head snapped in his direction. Due to my temporal destruction I looked away. The Nomu using its other hand, punched me. I barely had time to react. My blades coming up, they took the brunt of the attack. But I was still sent flying.

I slammed into the wall, right above the exit. I gasped out in shock. I heard the wall, well I hope it's the wall, behind me crack. Growling, ignoring the growing warm liquid on my back and the blood trailing down my chin, I lunged forward. Past All Might my blades where coming down, but the Nomu dodged it. I glared at it. Ignoring the literal creature I created with the force of my attack. "That hurt! You asshole!" I ripped my blades out of the ground. I turned and glared at the creature. There was a lot of stinging on my back, my hood was down, I felt blood pooling under my clothing, I felt bruises forming, I could tell I had a few broken ribs. Next thing I know I'm being placed next to Mr. Aizawa, Mineta, and Tsu. I looked around. Dumbfounded. I then looked to All Might. But then.
"Nine!" I flinched. My eyes flashing over to Usagi. I felt myself shrinking back at the sight of his smirk. His hazel eyes shined with that same crazed excitement as I remember. His black hair sticking up on end. He was smiling. My heart was pounding I was shaking way worse now. I swallowed. "Your amazing! I'm so close to finishing! Just a few more tests! So I need you to you to come with me Nine!" I flinched at each word. Mr. Aizawa noticed this. He moved now standing between me and the crazy man. I shook even more.
"Asui, Mineta. Get out of here." The two looked at me, I felt their gazes. But left at my nod. Todoroki, Kirishima, and Katsuki arrived, now behind All Might. While I stood frozen. My instincts fighting it out. Half of me wanted to run. Run as far and as fast as I could. While the other half of me wanted to fight. Fight until I dropped dead. I felt a hand placed on my shoulder. I flinched harshly before my terrified eyes looked up and into Mr. Aizawa's worried eyes. "Midoriya. Do you know that man." I shook even more. But I nodded. My eyes screwing shut as my time in the tests ran through my mind. I lost control. I began to hyperventilate. I couldn't breath. My hands flew up to my hair I began to curl up dropping into a crouching position. I shook, panting and gasping. I shook. My ears began to ring. My heart hammering in my chest.

There was a blast of wind. I didn't care. My hand was pulling and ripping at my hair. If not that out was scratching my skull. I curled up. Tears pricking at my eyes as I began to feel the phantom pain. I want mom. I want auntie. I want uncle. I want Kat. I shook more and more. "Midoriya!" I felt hands grab onto my hand trying to pull them away. It didn't work. It just made me flich, made me shack more. I think I screamed. I heard running. My ears still ringing slightly. Three people running in my direction. Next thing I hear a shocked gasp. I heard Katsuki.
"Zumi!" Next thing I know I fell familiar hand gently being placed on top of mine. Slowly and gently the go under mine. "I'm going to pull your hands up and off of your head." After saying that he did. Seconds after a hands placed on my head and pulling me into a chest. I hadn't even realized my eyes where closed until now. "I'm here now Zumi. Your safe. Your not in the tests. Your not in the lab. It's me, Kat, who's holding you." I latched myself onto Katsuki. Silently crying as I clung onto him for dear life. My head buried in his chest as he gently held me. "We aren't in any danger, we'll not anymore. I am unharmed. Mr. Aizawa is mostly unharmed. Shitty hair is unharmed. Icy hot is unharmed. All Might is mostly unharmed. The villains are gone. They retreated. The teachers and police are here." He was now rubbing my back, he was also playing with my hair, running his fingers through my hair. "Zumi. We gotta move. So I'm going to pick you up." He did just that. Moving the hand on my back under my legs and picking me up bridal style. "Now I'm headed to the entrance. Your injured so we need to get you checked." I shook my head. No, but as if the universe itself was against me. I passed out.
